The LBackup source code is contained within a zipped archive.

The source code is also available once LBackup is installed using the Apple or deb packages.

Once you have downloaded and unzipped the lbackup source directory you will need to install LBackup.

The default install location is within the '/usr/local/libexec/' directory. The installation process consists of creating various symbolic links. The most important links are to the backup script and the maillog script. Links to these scripts are placed within the '/usr/local/sbin/' directory. This process is automated when using the LBackup install package on Mac OS X.

The following instructions will allow you to install LBackup on your system from the source.

mkdir /tmp/lbackup_install
cd /tmp/lbackup_install
wget http://www.lucidsystems.org/download/utilities/LBackupSource.zip
unzip LBackupSource.zip -d lbackup_source
cd /tmp/lbackup_install/lbackup_source/LIST-Backup/root/
mkdir -p /usr/local/libexec
mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin
cp -r ./usr/local/libexec/lbackup1001 /usr/local/libexec/lbackup1001
cp -r ./lbackup /lbackup
chown -R 0:0 /usr/local/libexec/lbackup1001
chown -R 0:0 /lbackup
/tmp/lbackup_install/lbackup_source/LIST-Backup/Resources/postinstall

The following instructions will allow you to remove LBackup from your system.
